Dalits are apart and parcel of our social fabric and the nation cannot really progress unless this vast section develops along with others. The Government has special plans and schemes for the upliftment of Dalits. Despite that little improvement could be seen. This book portrays rights and Dalits in pros and cons. No doubt, this endeavour will prove useful for academics as well as for policy planners, administrators and social activists in the field.
